Anything else that could be edited to this photo?

( www.reddit.com )

Anything else that could be edited to this photo? I’m pretty new to photography, especially editing. I took this shot with my A7C and the Sony GM II 24-70 lens. The photo looked a bit washed out to me, so I used RawTherapee to increase the vibrance. Do you think I could have done differently with my camera? Was increasing the vibrance all it needed?n submitted by /u/CodeKnightRises
